He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Psalm 91:4
Last fall my sweet son was sick for two weeks straight. One night I stood up from the rocking chair and went to gently lay him down but he grasped my finger and held tight. I was not going anywhere. There was nowhere else I felt more needed and useful than by my son's side. It took no words, just a little squeeze of that chubby toddler hand and I knew I was needed. He had been battling a fever for days, a double ear infection, repertory infection, and was recovering from the stomach flu and a cold. My son needed his mom.
In the same way a mother won't abandon her child in need God will never leave us. I love the beautiful imagery and reminders of God's love for us through parenting our own children. Like a mother comforting her child, God will wrap His protection around His children. He is our comfort.
Dear God, when I need you, I pray I can find rest in you. Help me to cling to you, to lean into you, to find comfort in you.
Amen.
